I'm surprised if he refused you. I'm guessing you didn't catch him on the phone.
Looking forward to. :good
There are many question to be answered. Should be interesting.
Keep trying! :yep

 

have to agree with Rumsfield and Boxing Girl here. The points she made to me last week changed my mind, just got caught up in the Froch hype. althought i do get what rainmaker means about how Froch has accomplished more.

1. Ward
2. Froch
3. Bute

The great thing is we will know for sure in 2011. I do remember on the show this week boxing girl saying the Ward vs Kessler result was not affected by the location which I do disagree with. It would of been a closer fight with Ward out of his comfort zone and he wouldn't of got away with the head butting in Europe.

 

The cut on Kessler was clearly caused by a head butt. That affected Kesslers performance. I still think Ward beats Kessler no matter what, but in Denmark he would be getting points taken away for the butting and holding which can be excessive.

Agree with you about his tactics. Froch is clearly a very intelligent fighter with under rated skills. If you watch the Pascal fight again he starts of brawling but controls the last 6 rounds to win the fight. If he had done that agaisnt Kessler he could have won it. Against Johnson he will need to box more, but your right he won't be able to against Ward. He needs to make it a brawl.

A Froch vs Ward final would almost certainly be outside of Oakland, and Frochs team will put pressure before the fight on the ref not allowing any holding from Ward. He does love a clinch. If the ref is strict on it, it will be an intresting fight. If he lets Ward hold, its a wide UD for the american.

 

Anyway guys the whole thing is an interesting debate. Just the fact that we got 3 top super middle weights in Froch, Bute and Ward. 2011 could be an interesting year as we could see the 3 of them facing off to end the argument as to who is the best.

Ward certainly has the ring smarts and skills to beat Froch, but Froch has the ability to take Ward into the trenches which could see him unravel if things do not go his way. Froch will be on him from round 1 to 12 and can Ward cope with that? that is the question? how will he deal with the intensity of being dragged into a war? Neither Kessler or Green were able to do that with Ward, but Froch if he brings his A game, the Froch that went to war with Pascal, who kept up the charge against Taylor would be a formidable for the unbeaten American. Every boxer will face someone whose style will pose a big problem, and Froch may or may not be the answer. But he will ask questions that no other boxer has asked.

It's by no means certain that Froch beats Johnson as he's a rough tough guy, but surely at his advanced age, would come up short. It's by no means a given that Ward beats Abraham either. Ward likes to jump in and get inside, Abraham doesn't mind a close quaters fight that will suit him and it may only take one punch. So interesting match ups and lets not jump the gun here. There may be a surprise or two left before we get to the final.

 

Yep Johnson is a tough fight for anyone just see Froch having to much.
